Vice Ganda called out by Diet Prada for supposedly wearing high-fashion knockoffs

It's Showtime host Vice Ganda wears a headdress similar to what Beyoncé wore during her 2017 Grammy performance. Vice appeared with the headpiece during his opening performance for the grand finals of "Miss Q & A" last Saturday, February 23, at the Araneta Coliseum.

Vice Ganda is known for his eye-popping outfit choices, but the ABS-CBN host now finds himself in the middle of a fashion snafu.

The It's Showtime host was called out by Diet Prada for supposedly wearing high-fashion knockoffs.

Diet Prada—an Instagram page handled by Tony Liu and Lindsey Schuyler—is known for criticizing brands and personalities that create or wear knockoffs.

On Sunday, February 24, Diet Prada uploaded on its Instagram Stories the photos of Vice Ganda's outfits and compared them to international brands.

In one of the posts, the Instagram page showed Vice Ganda wearing what Diet Prada called an imitation of a Viktor and Rolf piece from its Spring 2019 couture collection.

Diet Prada wrote on its post, "Filipino actor / singer /comedian Vice Ganda turning it out in some imitation @viktorandrolf couture....

"Like the sentiment, but what’s with the electrical tape execution?"

Some netizens noted that both gowns had the same silhouette.

Aside from changing the color, the original statement printed in front of the gown was also changed from "Sorry I'm Late I Didn't Want To Come" to "You don’t gain anything from hating us."
